In this era, there were no computers, internet, or mobile phones. All the information input and case analysis were done manually. Moreover, the police force was understaffed and the work at police stations was very hard. It was normal for them to have to stay up all night for several nights.
Most of the people who worked in this field were graduates of police academies. There were also veterans who had been transferred from the army and a small number of people had been specially recruited from other industries. These people had excellent aptitude and were highly professional, fighting on the front line to protect the safety of the citizens’ lives and their properties.
People like this were worthy of respect!
Wei Zhen Hui gave a military salute to Lao Qian!
“Lao Qian, haven’t seen you for years, how are you?” After Wei Zhen Hui finished speaking, he hugged Lao Qian tightly.
In fact, Lao Qian was not old. It was just that he was darker skinned and looked the oldest amongst the soldiers, so everyone called him Lao Qian.
Lao Qian was once a soldier under his authority and was also a local from Bai County. On the battlefield, he charged forward and shattered enemy ranks, having a pioneering spirit. After being injured and having to change professions, Wei Zhen Hui had contacted the unit and now he was the director of the police station.
Lao Qian was very satisfied with this job. He had thought that he would never have a chance to touch a gun again after retiring from the military. Working at the police station was different. A black pistol and a pair of sharp handcuffs were his best buddies.
“Thank you captain. This job makes me feel proud and gives value to my life.” Lao Qian was very excited. As Wei Zhen Hui’s fellow townsman, he had not enjoyed any privileges. Wei Zhen Hui was notoriously ruthless in training his soldiers and trained him even more ruthlessly. Later on the battlefield, he had injured his left arm and had to be discharged from the army.
Wei Zhen Hui did not beat around the bush either. He told Lao Qian about the gangsters at the dance hall that night and asked him to pay attention.
“Captain, leave this matter to me. The school just happens to fall under our surveillance. Is sister-in-law in high school? Captain, have you finally found a wife?” Lao Qian honestly did not think before he spoke, “I mean, is there finally a girl who is willing to marry you? No, I mean, our captain is so good-looking, there will definitely be girls who like you.”
“Alright, I understand what you mean, that I, Wei Zhen Hui, was struggling to find a wife, and now even the heavens have heard and have let me find a wife, right?” This Lao Qian had not changed at all in the past two years after retiring.
Lao Qian chuckled and changed the subject, “There are more than a dozen gangsters in that dance hall, idling all day long. The citizens nearby are also suffering from it. They also often go to the school gate to tease the female students. We have been there many times after receiving a report, but these people are particularly sly. They are fast and every time we go, we rush into an empty space. Without substantial evidence, we can only verbally educate them when we bring them back. After holding them for two days, they still look the same when released!” Lao Qian handled many cases like this every year and half of them had been caused by those gangsters.
“Tonight was not like their usual small fights. Keep your eyes on them for now. I have already broken an arm each for those four people.”
Hearing what Wei Zhen Hui said, Lao Qian intuitively felt that this time, the matter was not that simple, otherwise Wei Zhen Hui would not have stepped in, let alone dealt with ordinary people. He had acted so violently, which showed the seriousness of this matter.
“Captain, don’t worry, we will definitely account for it on behalf of the citizens.” Lao Qian made a promise. He had long wanted to clean up that group of punks. The nearby residents had complained many times and had suffered as there had been no evidence. This time, they may be able to break through. Those people actually dared to act against the captain’s wife, they really must be tired of living.
Hearing Lao Qian’s assurance, Wei Zhen Hui left that same night. He needed to return to the provincial military area.
